Afe Babalola University

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

NN university, WP:TOOSOON at best, WP:PROMO/WP:SCHOOLCRUFT at worst. At least half the sources are inappropriate or misrepresentative. The first source is web ranking, which is irrelevant - 4icu is a search engine. The second claiming the doctorate was for Babalola the person's lifetime achievement, not "for the school." The third source is dead, but it doesn't confer notability on the school, either. The fourth source is tagged to an NN individual faculty member, and three others are not inline. Of those, one is a duplicate of 1, the second is about Afe Babalola the person, and the last is totally irrelevant. The first page of GHits is already hitting LinkedIn, and the departments are a copy/paste of info off the school's website, and are actually incorrect - the article claims 8 "colleges", the website has 5.

 * Keep It is a recognized Private University authorized to give degree by the National Commission of Universities of Nigeria, the official body regulating University Education  in Nigeria.As per This.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 03:04, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. VMS Mosaic (talk) 03:58, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - Looks good to me now, but just as a point of order, the ref claimed by Pharaoh of the Wizards was added by him, and wasn't in the article when I nominated it, so the necessary accreditation wasn't there. MSJapan (talk) 06:36, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Secondary schools (and by extension, universities) of confirmed existence have been long regarded as inherently notable at AfD. Whatever deficiencies there are with this article are correctable through the normal editing process. Carrite (talk) 16:47, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - Just clicking the NEWS link in the FIND SOURCES section above the nomination should easily not only confirm existence but demonstrate that WP needs a good article on this institution. Carrite (talk) 16:49, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
